Easy Double Chocolate Mousse Dessert

Spoonfuls of deep, creamy chocolate.  Now that’s the way to impress your sweetie (or sweeties)!

This dessert is inspired by one I had while eating out a few weeks ago.  There’s something sweet about individual servings.  I think it shows you’ve taken a little extra time to make it special.

I call recipes like this one “cheater recipes”.  It’s the best kind of cheating.  You end up with an impressive and delicious dessert for about $4 for 6 servings.  Much less than a similar dessert would cost when eating out and it’s every bit as decadent.

It starts with these ingredients:
